You should always eat breakfast within 1-2 hours of waking. In order to keep your blood-sugar regulated, you should eat your meals and snacks on a regular basis within 4-5 intervals throughout the day. This will control your insulin production and will aid in your body losing fat. Always try to eat BEFORE you are hungry. Do NOT skip meals, even if you are not experiencing hunger or cravings. Always eat a snack 30 minutes before working out to ensure you have the necessary energy.

Your meals are freshly prepared in our green kitchen the day before they are sent to you. Keep them fresh by storing them in your refrigerator immediately upon receipt. The shelf-life of your meals and snacks will vary based on the ingredients used in each offering. For example, fresh grapes and nuts will last for several days or longer. A more delicate egg, animal protein or dairy based dish or item may decline in freshness and quality within 3 days. Be sure to eat your meals and snacks as scheduled. Contact us if you have any questions about how to BEST enjoy our delicious healthy offerings.

PALETA will exchange your empty cooler bag and ice packs daily with the new food-filled coolers during your next delivery. Arrangements will be made with each client in advance to determine the most convenient mode of delivery and pick-up at your home. Make sure to recycle or compost the biodegradable and compostable containers. Please make sure to put your bags out every night.

PALETA is committed to using a combination of natural, sustainable and organic ingredients to ensure our clients enjoy the best and healthiest meals possible. Because market availability sometimes precludes the use of organic or local ingredients exclusively, we use our very best judgment to source produce and proteins from farms and ranches that utilize organic and sustainable practices without the benefit of certification. It is our belief that certification is often cost-prohibitive for the smaller local suppliers we are intent upon supporting. Therefore, we are diligent about ongoing assessments of our suppliers to ensure their practices meet our extremely high standards for what we refer to as "conscious cuisine".

Never make any changes to your diet without consulting your physician for advice. Additionally, we encourage ALL clients to see their physician before making any dietary changes. We work closely with many of our clients doctors, nutritionists and trainers to ensure we are meeting their own individual and unique nutritional needs.

Just a bit! We only pass on a portion of the cost of local delivery expense. A mere $3.99/day will keep your body nourished and energized and your taste buds will be sure to thank you! National shipping charges depend on your location and will be determined at checkout.

The "Paleo Diet" is based on the belief that hunter-gatherers and cavemen had it right. "Paleo" is short for "Paleolithic", the time period in human history that measures from the first use of stone tools and other primitive technologies. But it's NOT an exercise in historical re-enactment, nor is it a restrictive diet. Eating "like a caveman" is a lifestyle that people adapt to as a way of managing their health and nutrition through clean, unprocessed foods and balanced nutrition.

Nope! You'll be eating plenty of carbohydrates from fruit, vegetables, and nuts. The difference is that all your carbs will now be accompanied by other important factors like fiber and a variety of vitamins and minerals. Additionally, instead of refined sugars and processed ingredients, your carbohydrates will now be low-glycemic, preventing insulin spikes and maintaining even blood sugar levels. Even desserts on the PALETA Paleo | Gluten-Free Plan are perfectly balanced!

Actually, Paleo is (believe it or not!) a plant-based diet, with two thirds or more of your plate consisting of plant foods and only one third of animal foods. At its core, the Paleo diet is a diet based on the consumption of a wide variety of nutrients, including fats! Meat consumption is enthusiastically endorsed because it can provide vital nutrients not obtainable from plant sources. Variety is very important! A variety of foods supplies a variety of nutrients. That's why the PALETA Paleo | Gluten-Free Plan consists of a rainbow of sustainable fruits and vegetables and a wide selection of farm fresh meats.

Paleo results in weight loss because you are eating foods full of nutrients. It's often the lack of nutrients that triggers the feeling of hunger. When you eat the right balance of vitamins, minerals, fats, proteins, and carbs, your body stays sated longer and you eat less over all! Fats and carbs get a bad rap (because processed food created body wreckers like trans fats and simple carbohydrates!), but they both serve an important purpose in healthy digestion and cellular metabolism. The PALETA Paleo | Gluten-Free Plan makes sure you get the right balance!

It sounds like a cop-out answer, but different diets work better for different bodies. Athletes and those who struggle with inflammation do well on a Paleo diet because it limits potentially allergenic or inflammatory foods and promotes optimum nutrient absorption. Legumes, grains, and corn can be allergenic and inflammatory to some persons. Is Paleo right for you? We recommend consulting with your PALETA Nutritionist to determine which plan is best for your body!

There are tons of proven health benefits! Get ready for a little science:
The all-plant carbohydrates on the Paleo diet are low-glycemic, meaning that they cause slow and limited rises in your blood sugar and insulin levels. Excessive insulin and blood sugar levels are known to promote a cluster of diseases called the Metabolic Syndrome, most of which cause weight gain. Additionally, the high intake of fruits and veggies means your body will be slightly alkaline and any pH balance related symptoms (like mineral absorption, or tinnitus) will improve. The high fiber, protein, and omega-3 fat content of PALETA Paleo | Gluten-Free plan will also help to prevent the Metabolic Syndrome, while also improving the gastrointestinal tract and reducing inflammation. Is it really the magic diet? Is this how we are supposed to eat? What gives Paleo its "Magic" is that it focuses on broad spectrum nutrition, whole foods, and sustainable sourcing, which are all things we believe in at PALETA! The Paleo edge is that it cuts out potentially allergenic and inflammatory foods, which helps repopulate beneficial gut flora, and supports the health of the tissues that form the gut barrier, normal functioning of the immune system, hormone regulation, and liver detoxification. How? Because providing the body with the essential nutrients that it needs to be healthy forms the basis of the Paleo diet, every system in the human body is positively affected by this approach to food.

Not with PALETA! Our Paleo | Gluten-Free meals make it easy to transition. Most importantly, Paleo skyrocketed in popularity not because it's magic, but because it empowered people to make educated choices about their nutrition! PALETA wants to empower you to CHANGE THE WAY YOU EAT and CHANGE THE WAY YOU LIVE.

Most vegans and vegetarians rely upon legumes (beans, soy, lentils, peas, etc.) and whole grains to meet the majority of their daily caloric intake and this directly conflicts with much of the Paleo approach! However, if you're looking for a great way to reduce inflammation and eat SUPER Clean, Check out the PALETA PURIFY Cleanse.

Maybe you need a PRE-CONCEPTION DIET MAKEOVER! What you put into your body now matters as much as it does when you're pregnant. Get your body into ultimate pre-conception shape by allowing PALETA PREGNANCY to provide you with meals and snacks nutritionally designed to ensure you are eating the proper nutrients to make sure your pending pregnancy is in the PINK! (Or BLUE!)

Absolutely! Just let us know which trimester you are in and we can focus on certain foods. Good nutrition is extremely important, but can be challenging, particularly for women who suffer from morning sickness. Every bite counts!

We do all the work for you by eliminating high-risk foods like fish high in mercury, unpasteurized foods like soft cheeses and raw juices, seared and smoked seafood and meat because of the potential dangers they could pose to your unborn child.

The herbs our dietitian has identified as potentially responsible for MILK DEPLETION for our breast feedings mommies are sage, mint and parsley. However, research tells us they have to be consumed in very high, therapeutic doses (eg, dressings heavily laden with sage, or peppermint oil in cough drops/syrups or hard candies). In fact, in high doses, these ingredients are often used to help mom during the weaning process. We primarily use the above 3 herbs as a garnish which can be removed from the meals, but extremely limit their use in any food items for consumption. We are unable to completely remove the herbs from our meals and snacks, but assure you the amounts are negligible unless you have a specific allergy. If this is the case, you may opt for our Personal Chef program, which accommodates all allergies and food tolerances.

It's a myth that you are eating for two and it's not necessary to double your food intake. It is recommended that expecting mommies consume an extra 300-350 calories per day and for postnatal mommies who are nursing, an additional 250 calories are recommended. Of course, if your physician is recommending otherwise for YOU, then just let us know!

With the right mix of exercise and a consistent, healthy diet, you can get it back in no time. Our FIT MOMMY plan provides approximately 1350 calories per day with delicious, energy-sustaining meals and snacks. If you are looking to add an exercise regimen to your routine, PALETA partners with some of the best trainers and fitness professionals in the country. Just email us at concierge@paleta.com and we will find the perfect program for you!

While you're nursing, it's a good idea to start testing your reaction to certain ingredients like dairy, cabbage, broccoli or spicy foods to see if they cause colic or discomfort for your baby or YOU. And, since you need extra calories during this time, it's now safe to drink our Nut Magic Milkshakes, as they're a good source of healthy fat and protein.

Absolutely! Just let us know which trimester you are on and we can focus on certain foods. Good nutrition is extremely important, but can be challenging, particularly for women who suffer from morning sickness. Every bite counts!

First Trimester

MOST critical period for the baby's future health because of the rapid growth and organ and nervous system development

Folic acid is especially important during the first few weeks of pregnancy because it prevents major defects of the brain and spine. It's a type of vitamin B that our body uses to make new cells

The PURIFY CLEANSE is designed to cleanse your liver, kidneys, and intestines by eliminating inflammatory, potentially allergenic foods from your diet while providing your body with ample nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants. The PURIFY CLEANSE gives your body the tools it needs to ramp up your metabolism on a cellular level- rebuilding your filtering organs to work at their highest potential and eliminate toxins built up over years!

In addition to cleansing you of environmental toxins, the PURIFY Cleanse will also serve to help you identify how your body responds to certain potentially allergenic foods that you may have an intolerance to without knowing it. The PURIFY CLEANSE eliminates dairy, animal protein, sugar, caffeine, soy, gluten, corn and, of course, alcohol, tobacco and processed foods. By eliminating these foods and replacing them with nutrient-dense meals and snacks, you're giving your liver a break from processing foods that may cause a mild inflammatory reaction in your system, which can slow down your metabolism and hinder proper digestion.

Many cleanses focus on weight loss and immediate gratification. The PURIFY CLEANSE sets a strong foundation for metabolism reboot and a healthier, more nourished you! The hallmark of the PALETA PURIFY CLEANSE is our PALETA PURIFYPLUS formula. OUR PURIFYPLUS formula is scientifically designed with a unique blend of vitamins, minerals, and macro- and micronutrients that may be difficult to obtain through normal food intake. The PURIFY CLEANSE also incorporates low-allergy-potential, clean meals and snacks to boost your metabolism and to facilitate optimal liver functionality. The PURIFY CLEANSE is not only a great physical reset, it's also extremely powerful mentally. We find that the CLEANSE helps curb cravings, creates lasting weight loss, and leads to improved lifestyle habits in general.

Each day you will enjoy delicious PURIFYPLUS shakes, fresh plant-based meals AND snacks to satisfy your hunger and provide your body with all the essential nutrients it needs, without feeling deprived. Each PURIFYPLUS shake contains 20 grams of protein and a wide spectrum of powerful vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients required to form a healthy, balanced meal.

But don't worry; your jaw won't feel left out! Included in the PURIFY CLEANSE are our PALETA POWER UP Hand-Crafted Energy Bars and MUST BE NUTS Flavored Almonds. You'll also enjoy delicious, plant-based dinner entrees that are free of gluten, soy, dairy, sugar, corn, animal products, caffeine and alcohol.

PURIFYPLUS comes in a delicious creamy, vanilla flavor that we LOVE, but we know that vanilla can sometimes be, well, vanilla! PALETA provides flavor enhancers like organic cacao and cinnamon to add variety to your daily shakes. To shake it up even further, we recommend adding ice and two teaspoons of either flavor enhancer to a blender for a refreshing smoothie.

Chef Kelly also recommends adding fruit or greens for a healthful breakfast alternative (Just keep the fruits to a minimum if weight loss is one of your goals!). Chef Kelly's FAVORITE shake is blended with two teaspoons of cacao powder and half a frozen banana to kick off her mornings. Try any combination of your favorite flavors (and tell us all about it!).

The PALETA PURIFY CLEANSE comes with everything: all of your meals and snacks, PALETA PURIFYPLUS shake formula, flavor packets, and Detox Tea from our partners at ZHENA'S TEA. And, as a GIFT WITH PURCHASE, we also include a blender bottle, recyclable tote bag, and our newly designed SPA STACK which includes our carefully curated collection of dead sea salts, organic coconut oil, and soothing PURIFY candle designed for PALETA by local artisanal Holbrook Candles. This is how much PURIFY formula you'll receive:5-DAY CLEANSE = 2 PURIFYPLUS CanistersNOTE: It's important that you use LEVEL scoops for each serving.BONUS: You WILL have some extra formula after the completion of your CLEANSE and we encourage you to use it as a meal replacement or snack to ease you back your new-normal routine. And if (when!) you find yourself missing the convenience and energy you experience with our shakes, we sell PURIFYPLUS a la carte so you can make it part of our daily nutrition. A shake a day will help keep the toxins at bay!

NOPE! All the magic is taken care of before it even arrives at your doorstep. All you need to do is add purified or filtered water! Just grab your PALETA Blender Bottle, mix two scoops of PURIFYPLUS with 16-24oz of water and a fistful of ice and shake, shake, shake! It IS important to drink each shake within an hour of adding water to receive maximum nutrient density and avoid the digestive enzymes digesting the pea protein before you!

NOPE! The PURIFY CLEANSE is not a colon cleanse. The PURIFYPLUS formula is designed to boost liver and fat cell digestion, eliminating toxins that can cause digestive problems, a sluggish metabolism, and fatigue. Some clients experience a little bit of constipation, so make sure to offset that possibility by drinking plenty of water, making time for moderate exercise, and keep sipping the ZEHNA's RENEWME TEA throughout the day. Remember to STAY HYDRATED! This of course WILL create a few more bathroom breaks during the day because you will be producing a lot more urine due to increased fluid intake. This is a GOOD thing!

While it is different for each person, most people lose about a pound a day on the PURIFY CLEANSE from portion control alone. And that's just the beginning! Since the liver breaks down fat, many people who complete the PURIFY CLEANSE find it easier to lose weight quickly. However, because your body will continue to be exposed to environmental toxins throughout your day to day life, we recommend repeating the PURIFY CLEANSE at least once a quarter. For clients in PALETA's meal program delivery range, we recommend and encourage you to sample our healthy meal services to maintain the positive results you worked so hard to achieve during your PURIFY CLEANSE.

WEIGHT LOSS: Consider only consuming 3 shakes a day if accelerated weight loss is your goal. See how you feel and treat yourself accordingly.VERY ACTIVE INDIVIDUALS: Consider a minimum of 4 shakes per day and adding nut butters, fruits, and vegetables to increase your calorie intake.SMALL PEOPLE vs. BIG PEOPLE: A 110lb sedentary person will not require the same intake as a 200lb body builder. Start with 4 shakes on the first day and let your body speak to you. If you have questions, call us at 855.EAT.PALETA. We're here to help.

The PURIFY CLEANSE also tackles stress! Adequate stress management and regulated sleep are vital to the success of the program. Your body is not only cleansing, it's recharging and regenerating. PALETA also encourages light workouts during the program to help sweat out toxins and release endorphins. We also recommend stretching, yoga, and massage to help improve circulation.

You are giving yourself a GIFT by doing positive, healing, and nurturing things for yourself. Give yourself permission to take care of YOU. PALETA includes the SPA STACK for this very reason. The CLEANSE is a pampering investment in YOU. By helping break you of unhealthy habits, the CLEANSE benefits will be felt far beyond the program itself.

NO WAY! Caffeine is one of the hardest compounds for your liver to digest, so it is important to eliminate it from your diet during the cleansing process. Clients report headaches on the second or third day of their PURIFY CLEANSE which is often the result of caffeine withdrawal. This is normal, if unpleasant. Because we want you to get the best possible results, whatever you do, don't sneak any coffee or caffeinated tea (even decaf coffee or tea!). Coffee will still be there when you finish the program. We promise! But you may find that when you've completed your PURIFY CLEANSE, you don't even miss it. Some clients even eliminate caffeine for good!

Some clients experience headaches, but they WILL subside. We do suggest avoiding over the counter medication like aspirin and ibuprofen (unless prescribed by your physician, of course). Drinking more water and getting plenty of sleep will help with headaches. The more hydrated and rested you are, the better you will feel!

Some clients also experience temporary disturbance in sleep patterns, changes in body temperature, light-headedness, muscle aches, joint stiffness, mood swings, mental fog, and changes in gastrointestinal function. Remember: all of these symptoms are temporary and a sign of toxin elimination. Again, drinking plenty of water throughout the day, enjoying your ZHENA's RenewMe Detox Tea, and getting ample sleep and exercise will help alleviate all of these mild effects! Your body is ridding itself of unwanted toxins, which is the goal! As they approach the end of the CLEANSE, most clients actually report an elevated sense of focus, increased energy and clarity.

Have we mentioned WATER? Water is the best choice…buckets of it! Drink at least 80 ounces of water each day, or approximately 10 glasses. Avoid carbonated drinks like sparkling water and soda. Nothing alcoholic or caffeinated, please. You can also enjoy the detoxifying ZEHNA's RenewMe Tea we provide as a gift with purchase.

We recommend you replace your normal workout with more moderate, low-impact exercises to allow your body to rejuvenate more effectively. We really want you to perspire because it helps rid your body of the toxins. Work up a sweat every day by jogging, walking, taking a yoga class…whatever you like! Not sure where to begin?

Call us at 855.EAT.PALETA or email us at concierge@paleta.com and we'd be happy to refer you to one of our amazing fitness partners.

You are getting 20 plus grams of protein in each shake and all the nutrients and calories you need in the day with the plant-based meals and snacks. Keep in mind that there is no "typical" response. You will react based on lifestyle, environmental exposure, and physiological, mental and biochemical differences. But when all is said and done, PURIFY CLEANSE should enhance your day, not take away from it.

Um, we bet you already know the answer! We strongly recommend that you stay away from cigarettes, vaporizers, cigars, and any other inhalants. You may find that this is the best time to quit smoking all together!

The 5-Day PURIFY CLEANSE KIT is perfect for you at-home-chefs and is the most cost-effective way to do our PURIFY CLEANSE. Our PURIFY CLEANSE KIT comes complete with our PALETA PURIFYPLUS formula, flavor variety packs, POWER UP Hand Crafted Energy Bars and MUST BE NUTS Flavored Almonds, ZHENA's RenewMe Detox Tea, detailed instructions, recipes and shopping list. And, of course, you still get our pampering PALETA SPA STACK, Recycled Tote Bag and Blender Bottle as a gift with purchase.

You should continue taking your prescription medications while cleansing. Everyone should consult with their healthcare professional before beginning any cleanse or diet program if they have a medical condition or take physician recommended over-the-counter or prescribed medications.

We strive to protect and preserve our environment through local farm sourcing, recycling, and eco-friendly packaging. All of our packaging materials are BPA-free, compostable, biodegradable and/or recyclable. We also use recycled paper and vegetable/soy-based inks for printed materials. We also compost our produce waste and use the rest of the spoils to create healthy dog treats for the non-profit group UPWARD DOG PROVISIONS, as well as donating meals and food items to ANGEL HARVEST.

About 2-3 days before you kick-off your PURIFY CLEANSE, we recommend you reduce or restrict caffeine, alcohol, sugar, animal protein, dairy, corn, wheat and soy from your diet. These items will be eliminated during your PURIFY CLEANSE and by transitioning AWAY from these ingredients even before you start your body will be better primed for the cleansing process. It is best to stick with fresh plant-based foods and to drink plenty of water. Here are some tasty options you can eat in advance of your PURIFY CLEANSE:

FOR LOCALS (Santa Barbara to San Diego):
Your PURIFY CLEANSE will start on a Monday!

You will receive your PURIFY CLEANSE Kit the day you start. You will also receive your PURIFY CLEANSE Manifest in your Inbox the day before, detailing how to go about your first day!

Your freshly made meals will arrive via overnight delivery courier before your first day! We will ship dinner for Days 1-3 together so you are fully stocked for your first half of the PURIFY CLEANSE. Days 4-5 of your PURIFY CLEANSE will arrive overnight in time for Day 4.

FOR FARAWAY FRIENDS:
Your PURIFY CLEANSE will start on a Tuesday!

You will receive your PURIFY CLEANSE Kit the day before you start. You will also receive your PURIFY CLEANSE Manifest in your Inbox the day before, detailing how to go about your first day!

Your freshly made meals will arrive via FedEx Overnight during your first day in time for you to enjoy your first delicious PURIFY CLEANSE Dinner! We will ship dinners for Days 1-5 together so you are fully stocked for your PURIFY CLEANSE.

We knew it! Give yourself a giant pat on the back! Don't panic about reintroducing foods and changing your eating habits, but be mindful (your body will NOT appreciate a porterhouse steak and martini the next day). Ease yourself back in slowly by sticking to vegetable soups, salads, and then slowly introduce animal proteins and other eliminated foods. You may find you don't miss them or feel better without them. You'll certainly be much more aware of what you put into your body now.

A great way to continue to eat clean is to continue with one of PALETA's balanced meal nutrition plans, such as our seasonal Market Menu, Plant-Based Plan, Paleo/Gluten-Free plan, and even a Pregnancy plan. We can have your healthy meals delivered straight to your doorstep. We'll even discount your next purchase! Use PROMO CODE: MOREPLEASE10 to get 10% off your next order.

By 6pm on the eve BEFORE your next scheduled delivery, please place your thawed ice packs and empty coolers in the same place you designated for your drop-off. We will exchange your old cooler bag and ice packs with the new food-filled cooler. When you're all done, contact us about scheduling your cooler pick up!

Ketosis is a metabolic state of the body that comes from consuming a low-carb, moderate protein, high-fat diet that forces your body to use ketones as its energy source. By controlling intake of these macronutrients, you are essentially draining the body of its common energy source (glucose) and in turn it reacts by creating its own energy source from stored fat (ketones). Our bodies are like cars that are fueled with two types of gas: sugar (cheap gas that essentially damages the car) and fat (premium fuel that improves the car's performance). We need to stop fueling our engines on sugar and start burning fat as our primary energy source.
Over the course of your life, you have likely been consuming more glucose (sugar) than you need to function on any given day. The body's response is to send insulin out to capture glucose and store it in fat cells, as fat. When you drain the body of the original energy source, it is forced to resort to using the stores it currently has (fat) as a source of energy. As that fat is burned it releases your new energy source into your body (ketones), which are measured in both your bloodstream and urine. We target an overall AVERAGE macro nutrient breakdown of 60% FAT | 35% PROTEIN | 5% CARBS.

While gaining popularity as a weight loss tool, the ketogenic diet actually originated as a tool for treating neurological diseases, such as epilepsy.
Studies have now shown that the diet can have benefits for a wide variety of different health conditions*:Heart Disease: The ketogenic diet can improve risk factors like body fat, HDL levels, blood pressure and blood sugar.Cancer: The diet is currently being used to treat several types of cancer and slow tumor growth.Alzheimer's Disease: The diet may reduce symptoms of Alzheimer's and slow down the disease's progression.Epilepsy: Research has shown that the ketogenic diet can cause reductions in seizures in epileptic children.Parkinson's Disease: One study found that the diet helped improve symptoms of Parkinson's disease.Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: The ketogenic diet can help reduce insulin levels, which may play a key role in polycystic ovary syndrome.Brain Injuries: One animal study found that the diet could reduce concussions and aid recovery after brain injury.Acne: Lower insulin levels and eating less sugar or processed foods may help improve acne.*These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Many people would benefit from the program. Active individuals can benefit as a well-formulated keto diet because while it may help them lose weight, they can simultaneously maintain muscle mass and strength. Physical activities don't need to be restricted. The key is "well-formulated" and planful, which is where PALETA comes in. We combine our experience in the kitchen and in the field of nutrition to ensure a safe, healthy experience for our clients. There is a built-in mechanism for calorie control (because you're eliminating processed, unhealthy foods and diet is restricted to lean proteins and health carbs) which helps those with little self-control. And because clients see such QUICK results, it's very motivating to keep going and make this part of your lifestyle...in moderation.

Everyone responds differently, so you may go into ketosis within two days while it may take someone else a full week. Our bodies go into ketosis when blood sugar and liver glycogen are drained completely. Glucose stores can only last in the body for about two days so you could go into ketosis in as little as two days. Of course, this depends on weight, food intake, and any food sensitivities you may have. We package our KETO KLEANSE as a 3-DAY starter; if you haven't achieved ketosis by then, you must notify us immediately so you can purchase 1+ days more of our KETO KLEANSE if you're focused on trying a ketosis lifestyle.

Your KETO KLEANSE delivery provides keto urine strips to make that determination. Starting on DAY 2 of KETO KLEANSE, eliminate urine at least once WITHOUT testing it on the strip; you should only test urine streams AFTER your first output of the day. If the color on the test tab is darker pink to purple, then ketosis has been achieved and you can transition to our KETO TO THE KORE meal program. If you have NOT achieved ketosis, continue day after day consuming the KETO KLEANSE meals and snacks until you do. Additional KETO KLEANSES may be required as every BODY is different. Some people achieve ketosis in 2 days; some achieve it in 7. You MUST notify PALETA immediately, as we typically require 72 hours notice, but for this special KETO TO THE KORE program, we are only requiring 24 hours notice. Call 855.EAT.PALETA or email CONCIERGE@PALETA.COM to make arrangements.

Both programs provide nutritional benefits and ultimately revitalizes your system, but they do offer different benefits through different approaches.

The PALETA PURIFY CLEANSE is our plant-food and protein shake based liver detox, the hallmark of which is our PALETA PURIFYPLUS formula. OUR PURIFYPLUS formula is medically designed with a unique blend of vitamins, minerals, and macro- and micronutrients that may be difficult to obtain through normal daily food intake. The CLEANSE also incorporates low-allergy-potential, delicious, "clean" meals and snacks to boost your body's detoxification system and metabolism, and to facilitate optimal liver functionality. The CLEANSE is not only a great physical reset, it's also extremely powerful mentally. We find that the CLEANSE helps curb sugar and caffeine cravings, reduces or eliminates smoking, supports and sustains weight loss, and leads to improved lifestyle habits in general. Do the CLEANSE to boost your metabolism, purify your liver, and refresh your mind and body.

KETO TO THE KORE is our comprehensive food-based program designed to eliminate sugar from your diet to achieve a myriad of health benefits and is offered in 2 Phases.PHASE 1 - KETO KLEANSE: 3-Day package designed to get your body INTO a state of ketosis. See BENEFITS above.PHASE 2 - KETO TO THE KORE: This is our daily meal delivery plan designed to MAINTAIN a state of ketosis in your body through a specific diet program. See BENEFITS above.

Your KETO KLEANSE Phase 1 daily delivery comes with everything you need for 3 consecutive days: all of your targeted freshly made meals and snacks, beverages, MCT oil, keto urine strips, herbal tea, and detailed instructions. KETO TO THE KORE Phase 2 meal plan deliveries will include all your meals and snacks to maintain a state of ketosis in order achieve optimum results.
Because it's complicated and portion control and food choices are so critical to success, our KETO TO THE KORE takes out the guesswork and WORK altogether. We deliver all the components needed to launch you into Ketosis, via our KETO KLEANSE PHASE 1 (3 DAY PROGRAM).

KETO TO THE KORE PHASE 1
PHASE 1 eliminates all carbohydrates (fruits & vegetables & grains) for the first 3 days to help your body turn into a fat burning machine. Menu offerings are made with locally sourced, organic, non-gmo, gluten-free, and sugar-free ingredients. We take the hassle out of managing your health by providing perfectly portioned ready-to-eat/heat meals and snacks to keep cravings at bay, as well as other supplements to support nutrition goals. Clients should expect to experience a change in how they feel very quickly! Each PHASE 1 daily delivery includes:

KETO TO THE KORE PHASE 2
The next phase features increased portions and reintroduces low glycemic carbohydrates (vegetables & fruits) back into your diet and is designed to maintain a state of ketosis in your body for optimum results. This program has no limits and be extended for months on end. Many view it as a lifestyle choice after experiencing so many benefits. A Sample Menu for KETO TO THE KORE PHASE 2 might look like this:

YOU BET! Our flavorless organic, non-gmo MCT oil is a great alternative to traditional oils or energy & sports drinks. Packed with nutritional fats, MCTs are absorbed directly from the gut to the liver, where they are burned quickly for energy. The oil is made with organic coconuts and contains the full spectrum of medium chain triglycerides, including lauric acid; a powerful fat also found in mothers milk. You can use it to make salad dressings, add to shakes & smoothies, use it for cooking (up to 320f smoke point), and add to your coffee. It sounds strange, but coffee beans already contain oil. During KETO TO THE KORE meal program phase, we recommend adding to your coffee with a little bit of milk and blending to create a frothy, silky coffee beverage. Step aside, lattes & cappuccinos. This combo is amazing.*These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

We ask you to start out slowly with no more than 3 teaspoons per day, otherwise you may experience some intestinal distress. Each body is different so start out small and increase daily consumption depending on how you feel. Do NOT exceed 3 tablespoons per day. Some clients experience a little bit of constipation, so make sure to drink plenty of water and make time for moderate exercise. We also include ZHENA's Organic Slim-Me tea to help with digestion.

NO Sweets, Processed Foods, Grains/Starches, Juices, Beans/Legumes, Low-Fat or Diet Products, Sugary Condiments & Sauces, Rice, Potatoes, Alcohol, and Sugar-Free Foods as they are often high in sugar alcohols, which can affect ketone levels in some cases.

We regret that this nutrition program is only suitable for carnivores. We do recommend our portion controlled Plant-Based Meal Programs, or our VEGAN KICKSTART 14-Day Accelerated Weight Loss plan, or our VEGAN PURIFY CLEANSE.

Great! That is a typical bonus benefit experienced by KETO devotees.
This benefit has drawn the most attention from the masses of fitness minded people. Because it takes more work to convert fat and protein into energy, a KETO diet will typically speed up weight loss. And, because it's high in protein, you don't experience hunger pains like with other diets. It also puts a halt on sugar cravings once you've achieved ketosis. Lower sugar helps reduce inflammation and fight chronic disease while keeping insulin levels intact.
While it is different for each person, many people report losing about 1 lb a day during the KETO KLEANSE Phase 1. That, however, is just the beginning, because by entering KETOSIS you have set your body up for success by continuing with a delicious KETO TO THE KORE meal program to maintain that weight loss or continue with increased weight loss. We recommend that whenever you go OUT OF KETOSIS by consuming carbohydrates outside of our prescribed meal plan, go back and REPEAT the KETO KLEANSE phase. Alternatively you can try our PALEO/GLUTEN FREE program, which will also support a low-carb lifestyle, but will not keep you in ketosis where you are primarily burning fat instead of sugar. Results vary by client lifestyle, age, weight, activity, etc. so no commitment to these results can be made.

YOU BET! That is why we provide our favorite ORGANIC COLD-PRESSED KOFFEE REINVENTED as part of your daily offerings in the KETO KLEANSE phase. We recommend adding included MCT oil to the KOFFEE for a delicious, creamy beverage. Find out more about this very special beverage HERE.

Some clients experience headaches during the KETO phase, but they WILL subside. It means the program is doing its job! We strongly suggest avoiding over the counter medication like aspirin and ibuprofen (unless prescribed by your physician, of course) and any other chemicals. Of course, you must consult with your doctor if you are thinking of abstaining from any medication or supplements you have been taking before beginning your program. Drinking more water and getting plenty of sleep will help with headaches. The more hydrated and rested you are, the better you will feel!
While mild and temporary, some clients experience disturbance in sleep patterns, changes in body temperature, light-headedness, mood swings, inability to concentrate and changes in gastrointestinal function. Remember that these are temporary and all part of transitioning your body into a state of KETOSIS.
Some people experience muscle aches and joint stiffness. Just keep drinking plenty of water and get plenty of sleep. Remember that the discomfort you may feel means the process is working! Your body is changing how it processes energy, which is the goal! As you approach the end of the KETO KLEANSE, you should actually experience an elevated sense of focus, increased energy and clarity.

Any drastic change in your diet can have potential consequences to your health. Because of this, you should always talk to your doctor or a nutritionist before starting a new diet. If you're interested in starting the keto diet, you should be extra careful to check with your doctor if you have diabetes, hypoglycemia or heart disease. Because you don't want your body to stay in ketosis for too long, you'll want to discuss other options for dietary changes for an extended period of time. This is why PALETA eases KETO clients back into a more normalized diet, while still dramatically managing the reduction of starchy carbs. We want our clients to enjoy the variety of nutrient-dense and fibrous carbs in fruits and vegetables; we just carefully choose what they are and how much our clients are going to receive based on their specific health goals.
Longer-term risks associated with a strict KETO diet can include kidney stone formation, acidosis, too much weight loss (or muscle degeneration). Immediate "side effects" of the plan may include constipation, sluggishness, and low blood sugar. But these are primarily common at the beginning of the program as your body adjusts.

Water is the best choice…buckets of it! For best results, drink 100 ounces of water each day, or approximately 10 glasses. Avoid carbonated drinks like sparkling water and soda. Nothing alcoholic AT ALL. You can also enjoy a variety of decaf HERBAL teas…we love Peppermint and Chamomile, but we also give you ZHENA'S ORGANIC SLIM-ME TEA in your kit to help keep things moving! Being hydrated also means you're less likely to mistake thirst for hunger. If you're feeling the urge for some chocolate chip cookies, take a swig of cold water and see if you can hold off a little longer. Thirst can often masquerade as hunger and it takes water to digest food, so it's a double whammy for your body if it needs water and you're just giving it more food.

You betcha'! During the KETO KLEANSE, we recommend you replace your normal workout with more moderate, low-impact exercises to allow your body to rejuvenate more effectively. Work up a sweat every day by jogging, walking, taking a yoga class…whatever you like! During KETO TO THE KORE Phase 2, resume your normal exercise regimen. Not sure where to begin? Call us at 855.EAT.PALETA or email us at concierge@paleta.com and we'd be happy to refer to one of our amazing fitness partners.

You might experience a little lethargy during the KETO KLEANSE phase, but you are receiving all the nutrients your body needs. And remember...it's only for a few days. There is no "typical" response as each client reacts differently based on lifestyle, environmental exposure and physiological, mental and biochemical differences.

Um, we bet you already know the answer! We strongly recommend that you stay away from putting any toxins and chemicals into your body during this period for the best possible results. You may find that this is the best time to quit smoking all together!

You can should and continue taking your prescription medications. Everyone should consult with their healthcare professional before beginning any diet program, especially if they have a medical condition or take physician recommended over-the-counter or prescribed medications.

A Ketogenic diet and lifestyle may be appropriate depending upon their own personal health profile. You must consult with your physician before enrolling children in the KETO TO THE KORE nutrition program.

About 2-3 days before you kick-off your KETO KLEANSE, we recommend reducing alcohol, sugar, and gluten from your diet. These items will be strictly eliminated during the program and by transitioning AWAY from these ingredients even before you start your body will be even better primed for the cleansing process. It is best to stick with fresh plant-based foods & lean animal protein, and to drink plenty of water.

National delivery clients will receive a reusable PALETA water bottle in lieu of the boxed water provided to local delivery clients. A follow up Keto Lifestyle Guide will be provided to help support a ketogenic lifestyle post Keto Kleanse.

We knew you'd feel amazing! Give yourself a giant pat on the back! Don't panic about reintroducing foods and changing your eating habits, but be mindful … your body will NOT appreciate a pile of French fries, bagels or martini the next day. Ease yourself back into a more normal diet slowly by sticking to more lean animal protein food items and green vegetables. The KETO KLEANSE should be repeated any time your diet diverges from maintaining a ketosis lifestyle. If you've gotten off track and started introducing carbohydrates excessively back into your diet, we suggest a repeat of the 3-DAY KETO KLEANSE to get your body back into a state of ketosis. Our KETO TO THE KORE meal programs post-Keto Kleanse are the perfect way to keep up your new ketosis lifestyle for our SoCal friends. We do not deliver this meal program nationally.
